Two uptown Union City men have been charged in the murder of a Union City man who was stabbed on his front porch Sunday morning, authorities said.

Hector Lozado, 19, of 34th Street, and Richard Munoz, 18, of Kennedy Boulevard, were charged with felony murder, robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose in the stabbing death of Ricardo Cruz, 48. Bail for both men has been set at $300,000 cash or bond.

Authorities say Cruz was stabbed multiple times on his 44th Street porch at about 4 a.m. Sunday. Neighbors last saw Cruz on the porch at about 3 a.m., Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said, adding that neighbors found him dead on the porch at 7 a.m. Cruz may have been sleeping when he was attacked, DeFazio said.

Lozado and Munoz are expected to make appearances in Central Judicial Processing this morning.
